Chapter 205: The Six-Eyed Scarlet Iron Scorpion Full of Treasures
After the thin old man stepped down, Lu Xuan stood up and approached him.
"Friend, here are the third-grade Dragon Vine and the third-grade Purification Talisman," Lu Xuan said, taking out a dark and thick vine and two white jade talismans with a shimmering white light from his storage bag.
"Not bad, the quality of the Dragon Vine exceeds my expectations," the thin old man carefully examined the snake-like Dragon Vine in his hand and expressed his satisfaction.
"Please take these fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit seeds," he handed the seeds to Lu Xuan.
As soon as the seeds fell into his hand, Lu Xuan felt a faint cold breath.
The Holy Infant Fruit seeds had a peculiar appearance, resembling an oval embryo with a withered and small gray-black infant curled inside.
The infant seemed to sense Lu Xuan's gaze and subtly turned its eyes towards him. Suddenly, a trace of cold resentment permeated, as if trying to penetrate into Lu Xuan's body.
With a thought, Lu Xuan's Jade of Purity (Pure Jade) hanging around his neck emitted a cool breeze, sweeping across his body and cleansing every inch of his skin.
The cold resentment instantly dissipated. In his hand, the vague gray-black infant in the seed turned into an indistinct substance, as if what he saw before was just an illusion.
"Impressive for a fifth-grade seed; it indeed possesses some sinister aspects," Lu Xuan sighed inwardly as he carefully stored the Holy Infant Fruit seeds in his storage bag.
The Exchange Treasure Convention continued. Although Lu Xuan had already obtained the main goal, the fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit seeds, he still paid attention to the treasures displayed by other cultivators, hoping to find desired spirit seeds and demon beast embryos.
Cultivators took turns on stage, and soon it was Lu Xuan's turn.
He stepped onto the platform, taking out a misty spirit fruit from his storage bag.
"The Illusory Smoke Fruit, a third-grade spirit fruit of superior quality. Consuming it can accelerate the cultivation speed of illusion techniques and enhance the power of spells."
"It can also be used to raise demonic beasts with related talents or refine certain rare elixirs."
"For exchange, I'm looking for third-grade or higher rare spirit seeds or demon beast embryos. If anyone has fresh and intact third-grade or higher demonic beast carcasses, I'd consider that as well."
As Lu Xuan spoke, many illusion cultivators in the audience became interested in the high-quality Illusory Smoke Fruit. However, most didn't have the spirit seeds or demon beasts that met Lu Xuan's criteria. After some consideration, he politely declined several offers.
After a moment of contemplation, he spoke slowly.
"This demonic beast carcass is quite valuable to me, especially the eye pupils, which can be used to cultivate the Hundred-Eyed Peculiar Wood. I'll need six of them, making it an additional gain. The bones can be used as nutrients for the Thorny Bone Wood, and the part containing the scorpion poison can be used to cultivate the Venomous Shuttlewood. It has versatile applications."
"But I still want to acquire it with minimal cost. Therefore, I'll point out the flaws in the carcass and use that to negotiate a lower price."
"Friend, what are you willing to exchange for this demonic beast carcass?" the black-robed cultivator asked.
"A third-grade Illusory Smoke Fruit plus four hundred spirit stones. This is the maximum I can offer. What do you think, friend?" Lu Xuan proposed, pretending to be indifferent.
"Good, deal."
Although what Lu Xuan offered was still a bit short of what the cultivator desired, he urgently needed the Illusory Smoke Fruit. Thus, he readily agreed.
Lu Xuan stored the scorpion carcass in his storage bag and patiently waited for the convention to end.
Outside the towering stone mountain, Lu Xuan walked out from the mountain belly, sensing a few faint gazes around him. He circulated his spiritual power frantically, turning into a floating light and disappearing in a few breaths.
After making sure there was no one around, he opened the Invisible Spirit Cloak draped over him. Transparent lines appeared in front of his eyes, and he vanished in place.
A moment later, Lu X
uan's spiritual power was depleted by more than half, and his figure reappeared several li away. He carefully sensed his surroundings, confirmed there were no abnormalities, and swiftly flew towards Sword Gate Town.
In Sword Gate Town, in a small courtyard.
Lu Xuan opened the Illusion Mist Formation and entered the courtyard.
As soon as the thick mist covered the courtyard, he couldn't wait to take out the Holy Infant Fruit seeds from his storage bag.
"A fifth-grade spirit seed; it's my first time cultivating one."
He thought with anticipation in his heart.
